Am i wrong with this assesment? Be nice if you could get the receiver and software for 50$ but the cost for decent stuff is aproaching the stand alone unit price.
I got my HOLUX M1000 unit for $50 shipped, and it's BT. Works with the PDA and the laptop. Also, there are a few free GPS apps, and I know they aren't really comparable in functionality to TomTom or iGuidance, but hey, it's free!
